Bit of a late arriving crowd, it looks like. A Phillies home game starting around the same time will do that.

Underway in PPL Park!

You can definitely make out the “22” markings on the pitch from last week’s Rugby Sevens tournament. If Villanova moves in, it’ll be way, way worse.

As long as it does not effect the actual quality of the pitch, I have no problem with it.

When it looks like this, you'll have a problem with it.

When football cleats start digging up the field and it becomes a sloppy mess, then I will complain. I can get over different markings easily.

I agree
Really hoping Nova doesn’t move in. Don’t mind a once in a while thing like the rugby sevens, but anything on a regular basis would be awful. Plus rugby is really cool.
Yup, exactly. The Union need to fill the calendar with events like rugby — between fifteen and twenty days a year for the Union isn’t enough. It’s when you start having other tenants that require their own markings on the pitch that you have a problem.

Phillies are in a rain delay. Good news for the Union and my thumb.

Does the survey link not work for anyone else?
I’m getting page not found.
Yeah, me too. Again.

This is the second time the Union have put on TV that they have a survey on their website. This is the second time that the provided URL doesn’t work.

The sun is shining at PPL Park. The rain is pouring down at Citizens Bank Park.
I love summer.

I thought so, even as he got to the ball.
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
yeah i thought so to but when no whistle was blown when he touched i just got a little confused..they waited a long time for that
Yeah, and the replay made it look like he was fine, so who knows.

Oh Valdes. Could have been 2-0, but instead, the Union got a thud.
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
Woodowrk unkind to Valdes. Oh boy.

Rimando with a great save on Farfan. Geez.

And now from M. Farfan, and Le Toux. The Union can only hope these unfinished opportunities don’t come back to hurt them …
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
And now the woodwork unkind to Le Toux.
I loved that play by Mwanga.

did you think there was a missed foul in the middle of the field that led to that?

I did not see anything worthy of a whistle there, especially in a game where the refs have been letting a lot of things go.

Those missed opportunities in the first half are really coming back to bite the Union now.

Yup. Funny how often that happens.
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
what was it like 8 shots, 5 on goal for philly in the first half?

Yeah, think so.

Harvey out
Mapp in

Good to see Mapp not showing any ill effects from that groin injury last week.

Mapp’s entrance into the game means Michael Farfan slots into the right back position.

This feels like last year. Either sense a hard-to-take draw, or a late goal against for a Salt Lake victory.

Real Salt Lake 1-1 Philadelphia Union
Given the first half of this match, a win would have felt much better.

Not sure how to react to this one. The Union will take a point, but they’ll also rue some of those unfinished opportunities in the first half.
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
wow just saw Nowak not shake hands with Kreis after the game. #speechless #disappointing
Come on. Really, Peter?
Contributor at The Brotherly Game, SBN's Philadelphia Union blog
I’m curious as to what explanation he offers up. This better be a good one because that is wrong.
Writer at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
And it better be better than being a sour puss rotten face over the fact the Union drew in a game they very easily could have won.

Aw crud, it’s sourpuss grumpy face, not sourpuss rotten face.
